Default Re: Code 43

And u’ve checked for continuity between the harness connector and the ECM?
Separate the harness connector from the clip to see if there’s any corrosion?
Same on the ECM side?

Correct voltage from the ECM at the knock sensor connector. No corrosion.
ECM connections clean.
Sometimes, the car will run all day without any issues.
Other days, I'll get a code 43 as soon as it goes into closed loop, although the code is coming up more frequently than in the past.
I know the car is 27 years old, but it only has 23K miles on it and was garage kept the entire time.

Just curious...how can you say it's "running" great with no secondaries. Back when I had Barney, if I was driving around with inoperative secondaries, I'd be saying, "This car runs like crap."


Ok...so we know it's not a problem with Haibeck's cal as the OP swapped out the chips and there was no change. We know it's not the sensor because that's been changed.

Does the sensor installed have "plumber's tape" or anti-seize lubricant on the threads? If so, remove the sensor, clean the threads on the sensor and in the block, reinstall the sensor and road test.

If that doesn't solve the issue, do the diagnosis procedures in the Service Manual. You will need a scan tester which supports the LT5 to run that diagnostic.

If you mean it falls flat at 4000 rpm, then yes, it runs like crap.


I've got the TunerPro RT program to do some data logging, I just have to figure out how to use it.
